[W126 Coupe] Sad to say it, I'm selling my SEC

[Markus Meyer]

What is advertised versus what they are selling for is two different
things.  Over 100k miles won't get you anywhere near five figures unless its
an amg, or has some kind of exotic extras others don't have.  Sad to say,
but true.  I sold two recently and reality is quite sobering.

Thanks,
Markus
